The all-Island school committee this week grappled with the question of how the superintendent’s budget is split among Island elementary schools. Discussion was heated at times.
The All-Island school committee voted to certify a $5.9 million superintendent’s shared services budget early this week. The final budget is a 2.35 per cent increase over last year.
In a sharply split vote that came after nearly two hours of polling among board members, the All-Island School Committee last night selected James H. Weiss as the next superintendent of Vineyard public schools.
Mr. Weiss, who has been superintendent of the Sanborn regional school system in New Hampshire for the last seven years, is expected to take over leadership of the Island's six public schools on July 1, replacing Vineyard interim superintendent G. Paul Dulac.
